Case Study: Actian achieves real-time analytics on smart contract data with Digital Asset’s Daml integration

Actian uses Digital Asset's Daml to cut data prep time by 50-80%

Actian, a data analytics and management company, faced the challenge of performing analytics on data from smart contracts built with Daml on distributed ledgers. The traditional method of taking periodic snapshots of this data for offline analysis would recreate data silos and reconciliation problems. Actian needed a way to directly analyze this data while keeping it synchronized and transforming it for business intelligence, all without violating the platform's built-in privacy guarantees.

Digital Asset's solution integrated its open-source Daml smart contract platform with Actian's Data Connect product. This integration allowed Actian to create a continuously synchronized data feed from the Daml ledger into its analytics environment. Data Connect transformed the smart contract data into an analyzable format and enriched it with information from external systems. This enabled Actian to perform advanced analytics on real-time, consistent data, eliminating reconciliation work and freeing up data scientists to focus on generating insights rather than data preparation.
